That a federal court blocking anything Trump wanted to do is extremely hypocritical. If you remember back in his second term, barry told courts in AZ that the judicial was not more important than the executive branch, what changed?

To be honest, the fact is there are those that suffer from each of these variations of TDS.

BTW, I wrote in Jim Webb for president in 2016. I couldn't stomach voting for Trump or Clinton.

Somewhat, as my Dad was an attorney.

I also have decade's old friends who are both attorneys and judges.

There are good attorneys and bad attorneys, as well as good and bad judges. Biased judges who lean hard to one side of center (which is the rule of law) are bad judges. I would purge liberal judges that don't follow the rule of law as quickly as I'd purge right wing judges that bring their beliefs into the court.

We watch a lot of the forensic and murder case type TV shows, and it blows me away some of the despicable attorneys who adopt ridiculous defenses on people who are 100% guilty. I know it's their job, but to play game defenses and act outraged by the "innocence" of someone they know is guilty is pathetic.

The rule of law is being trashed under this president and administration.

I wouldn't argue your points in this post. Yet, my Dad used to say the best judges were the ones who were capable of ruling by the spirit of the law, rather than always by the absolute letter of the law.

BTW, my Dad was very conservative, probably libertarian.

In the case of the Pink Panther, my vote goes to the original with Peter Sellers as Jacques Clouseau. Although Steve Martin had a decent go at it, Sellers still warrants the top spot.

I did write somebody in. Done that the last few elections.

You mean like Comey, McCabe, and the others?

Just askin': Did you mean to write Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Newt Gingrich's wife's name is Callista, and she is no judge.

There may be those on both sides . . . but, (...and this is a huge but...) those with TDS that are the most visible and dangerous are the ones who hate Trump! Anyone with TDS that loves Trump isn't anywhere near as dangerous as the opposite! Keep an open mind and evaluate this for yourself and you will see this truth is shown in the facts!

My bad. I looked it up but I was very tired having been up all night. I try to check myself before I post so as not to look ignorant. You got me on another post today too. I bow to your powers of observation and will try to do better.

You're a fine poster and a gracious man, Sir. We all make mistakes. I just wanted to make certain that I and others paying attention were not confused.

You deserve kudos for admitting to an inadvertent error. All, including myself, have on occasion done so.

I don't tweet . . . so could you please give us reference to verify your accusation. By the way, if this is true, it is still only talk and not an impeachable event until he actually does it! Thinking or talking about doing something is not the same as doing it!
